Before I even start this post I must take a moment to Congratulate the talented Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy for her Oscar win, the first win for Pakistan. You give Pakistani women hope as she says

"Don't give up on your dreams for change" - Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy

You show the world the pride of Pakistan is in their artistes & intellectuals. Not in bombs and bans!

Now we continue with our scheduled programming :)

With it being cold outside I tried to sign up D for a class. He did swim the first two times because he was two young to do anything else and he was a late bloomer when it came to walking so we stuck with swim. The last class came to an end in December so with the start of January and having D be more confident with his walking skills we started a gym class at the wonderful Montclair Geyer Family YMCA.

There were a few new toys and activities every week.. he explored.. discovered and shared.. there were many giggles and laughs and thank fully only a few cries and hardly any tears.. :)

I know I went to Canada months ago but life has been all over the place and I only now got the time to finally finish editing the photographs of Quebec City. The oh so beautiful Old Quebec, I have been waiting to share these with you. I have even tried something a bit different with some of them. Usually I am all about the rich deep colors and high contrast, I like to focus on the details rather than the big picture but I am trying to branch out and try something new.. if you like it I will continue to explore.

I am an avid reader of Designing an MBA I love the tips and advice given by Megan.

I have been struggling with my website.. I created one via wix.com. Put in my heart and soul till it reflected exactly what I wanted. I knew all about the problems of flash and how it is not SEO friendly but at that time wix had been the best option for me (easy to make and wallet friendly). It has always worried me. And I will continue to worry about it's incompatibility with Apple products and other similar devices while I look for a better alternative. But when it comes to my worries about SEO I find my self a bit more at ease.. why?

A few weeks ago I found Megan's post 'Stop Worrying About SEO'. A few of her words 'The reality is that for most of us, our customers aren't making purchasing decisions by hitting Google. They’re finding our products through blogs, social media, and recommendations from friends.' It made sense.. I felt instantly lighter.. and I know about so many of you having these similar worries.. what do you think? Do you agree with what she has to say? Are you worrying a little less? Should I still be worrying too? You can read more of her words and check out a video too over at her blog Designing an MBA

I would love to hear what you have to say and wishing you all a little less to worry about.

In collaboration with the wonderfully talented Victoria I want to share with you with absolutely adorable desktop calendar. For this month, she has created a deskstop for you to reflect the sweetness that she is feeling in her heart ; ) She couldn't resist (her words not mine) my sunny Venetian chairs. She incorporated a Parisian pup feasting on a plate of spaghetti ala Lady of the Tramp style. Doesn't it make you cheery? Click below for downloads!
